Having a 12 year history, Omega GoldTM is proud to have supplied Omega-3 Harp Seal Oil from Newfoundland Canada, to the world. With Industry Canada QMP (Quality Management Program), CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency), Health Canada, and GMP (Good Manufacturing Process), Omega Gold insures the very best in seal oil quality with EPA, DHA, and DPA.

Our products have been examined by Health Canada, receiving the NPN (Natural Product Number) as well as by the ISOS (International Seal Oil Standards) having received a 5 Star rating on the quality and insurance. The University of Guelph also has conducted experiments on the effectiveness of our seal oil and has proven it to be a significant benefit to our lives, filling in on the omega-3 nutrients we lack in our everyday lives. Our product is now being distributed worldwide, including South Korea, Japan, Cuba, and Europe.

Omega Gold Omega-3 Capsule is an all natural supplement composed of Omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients such as vitamin E and squalene from seal oil. This product is purely from seal oil and did not go through any chemical process.

WHAT IS Omega Gold Omega-3?

Omega-3 are essential nutrients known as PUFA (PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids). They are considered good fats whose presence in the current, modern diet is low.

Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA and DPA) are essential nutrients that are critical components of maintaining good health, normal growth and development of human beings. Unfortunately the human body does not replace the Omega-3 it consumes, therefore Omega-3 must be obtained through your daily dietary intake or through the convenient use of OmegaGold’s Omega-3 products.

WHY ARE THESE THREE PUFAs SO IMPORTANT?

DPA is naturally present in human milk and is postulated to be an essential fatty acid for infant nutrition and development. Seal oil is one of the few known natural sources of DPA. In contrast, fish oils have little or no DPA. Recent studies have also shown that DPA is involved with the healing process associated with cardiovascular diseases, namely atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

DHA has been identified as an essential fatty acid in brain, nerve and eye tissue. It is especially important to development of infant’s visual acuity and motor skills. DHA is supplied naturally through mother breast milk and more recently through DHA supplemented formula.

EPA reduces inflammation and blood clots within the cardiovascular system. In addition, clinical tests have shown people with diets rich in EPA are less prone to inflamed joints (rheumatoid arthritis), inflammation of the intestines, lupus, asthma, multiple sclerosis and skin disease.

OMEGAGOLD SEAL OIL SUPERIOR ABSORPTION

With the exception of seal oil, the highest incidence of DPA is in mother’s breast milk. This is important for early childhood development. The absorption of seal oil into the human body is easier and more thorough than fish oils. This is due to a similar compositional structure to human milk. This is a major reason for the superior effect of seal oils compared to fish oils in disease prevention and deriving potential health benefits. Seal oil is also virtually free of cholesterol, while many fish and fish oil are relatively high in cholesterol.

"THE OMEGA-3 CONTENT OF SEAL OIL IS 20~25% WHICH IS HIGHER THAN MOST FISH OILS"

CONCLUSION

With the current trend towards disease prevention, supplement with OMEGAGOLD’S Omega-3 Seal Oil.

"In comparing seal oil with fish oils, assimilation of seal oil into the body is more efficient than fish oils. EPA, DHA and DPA in seal oil are located primarily in the terminal positions of the triglyceride molecules (as in humans) while they are preferentially present in the middle position of triglycerides in fish oils. The difference in the location of the Omega 3 PUFA is a major reason for the superior effect of seal oils compared to fish oils in disease prevention and potential health benefits."

Conclusion: EPA,DHA and DPA in seal oil are located primarily in the terminal positions (sn-1 and sn-3) of the tricylglycerols molecules. These are present, mainly, in the middle position (sn-2) of tricylglycerols in fish oils.

Dr. Philip Davis, a professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland(Canada) is a leading scientific researcher in this field of study. He has been studying the potential health benefits of seal oil for the past 10 years, and Omega-3’s generally for 20 years.

He has stated that:

The biggest single difference between seal oil and fish oil is the susceptibility to oxidation. Both in vivo as well as in vitro, seal oil oxidizes at significantly lower levels than fish oils. This is an important fact because oxidation of lipoproteins is directly related to heart health.

Not only is seal oil rich in DPA, which appears only in trace amounts in fish oil, it is also rich in DHA compared to fish oil. For benefits relating to brain health, the levels of DHA is directly related to the successful benefits of the Omega-3 product.

The cardio-protective effects are also DHA-dependent, which again makes seal oil the preferred choice to fish oil.

FDA (Food and Drug Administration, USA)

Jan. 15, 2004 (Volume 69, Number 10, p.2313-2317)… As a result of its evaluation, FDA found that although reported study report are variable, there appears to be a trend toward increased LDL cholesterol values with increased fish oil consumption in all population subgroups, with the magnitude of the increase appearing greater and more consistent in populations with abnormal blood lipid levels, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Based on its evaluation, FDA concluded that 3.0 g/p/d of EPA and DHA is a safe level with respect to LDL cholesterol.

American Heart Association (USA)

Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of -- or who have -- cardiovascular disease. We recommend eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week.

Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada

Omega-3 fatty acids —a member of the alpha-linolenic acid family—are vital to heart health. They are thought to prevent blood platelets from clotting and sticking to artery walls, thus reducing the risk for heart attack and stroke. They also appear to reduce levels of serum triglycerides, which, along with cholesterol, contribute to increased risk for heart disease. Some studies suggest that consuming one or more servings of omega-3-rich fish a week can reduce the risk of cardiac death by 44%.

The Hospital for Sick Children (Canada)

(Nutrition,Health & Wellness Information)
Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are often called essential fatty acids. They help to form vital body structures and cell membranes, aid in immune function and vision, and produce powerful hormone-like compounds called eicosanoids. Without them, we would not be able to maintain good health.

World Health Organization

1995 recommendation by the World Health Organization that all baby formulas should provide 40 mg of DHA per kilogram of infant body weight Scientist believe that postpartum depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and low IQs are all linked to the low DHA intake commonly found in the U.S. Low DHA levels have been linked to low brain serotonin levels which again are connected to an increased tendency to depression, suicide, and violence. DHA is abundant in cold-water fish and nutritionists now recommend that people consume two to three servings of fish every week to maintain DHA levels. If this is not possible, it is recommended to supplement with a minimum of 100 mg/day of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA.
